About this opportunity
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is procuring a single frequency laser operating at 698nm for use in a quantum sensing project developing a strontium optical lattice clock with integrated photonics. The laser must be a continuous wave system with an operating wavelength of 698.3 nm, tuning range of 689-705 nm, and short-term linewidth of 50 kHz or less, along with sophisticated electronic controls including current/temperature control, external modulation capability, and integrated CPU/FPGA for laser scanning and signal analysis. The procurement includes software, electronic manuals, license key, and a 12-month/3000-hour warranty. NIST will evaluate quotations using a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) approach, selecting the lowest-priced quote that meets all technical specifications. Quotation submissions are due by 11:00 AM Mountain Standard Time on August 18, 2025, and must be sent electronically to lisa.stevens@nist.gov.
This solicitation is conducted as an unrestricted procurement with no set-aside designation, utilizing simplified acquisition procedures with a small business size standard of 1,000 employees. No specific award values or budget ranges are disclosed in the available documentation. The contract calls for delivery of one laser unit within sixteen weeks after receipt of order, with shipping required to NIST's Boulder, Colorado facility. The place of performance is Boulder, CO 80305, where delivery, installation, and training must be completed within the specified timeframe. The government will conduct acceptance testing within seven business days following delivery and installation. No incumbent contractors or potential offerors are identified in the solicitation materials.
